    Me to. Bit sad that the garmin allow 3rd party apps and the first sign of issues that advise to remove all of them.  If the platform cannot cope with 3rd party apps, then they shouldn't allow them. Android and iOS manage to cope though.

    Well, I've had my share of Android 3rd party apps that have killed my phone's battery. Slight smile Watches have such small batteries that it's sometimes challenging to develop apps with minimal battery consumption.
